‘Kakushinkon’ movement for progressive united front holds event

October 17, 2010
The National Association for a Peaceful, Democratic and Progressive Japan (Kakushinkon) on October 16 held a meeting to share the experiences of movement participants at worksites, local communities, and youth groups in Showa Town in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Nearly 800 activists from throughout Japan spoke about their experiences to increase the Kakushinkon movement to a broad range of people.

Japanese Communist Party Chair Shii Kazuo and Permanent Director of the Japan Association of Cooperate Executives (Keizai Doyukai) Shinagawa Masaji spoke at the event.

Irrespective of ideology and political affiliation, individuals and organizations, including intellectual figures, business people, conservatives and independents, religious figures, and economists, take part in the Kakushinkon movement.

The JCP in 1980 put forward the establishment of this progressive united front movement in a bid to form a majority consensus to establish a people-oriented economy, a democracy strictly based on the Japanese Constitution, and a nuclear-free pacifist Japan without the military alliance with the United States.
